Disclosing to FIFA that football "can't fall behind," he included: "Given the rate at which innovation is progressing and the way that each game uses it, how might we not consider utilizing it in football?"
Also, he said it would have implied his 1986 objective, a standout amongst the most disputable in football history, could never have been permitted.
"Clearly I consider it at whatever point I demonstrate my help for the utilization of innovation," he included.
"I considered it and, beyond any doubt, that objective wouldn't have stood if innovation had been around.
"What's more, I'll reveal to you something unique - at the 1990 World Cup I utilized my hand to clean the roll together the line against the Soviet Union.
"We were fortunate on the grounds that the ref didn't see it. You couldn't utilize innovation in those days, yet it's an alternate story today."
In any case, Argentina legend Maradona included that his was by all account not the only crossroads in football history that would have changed with the utilization of innovation.
"How about we not overlook that England won the World Cup in '66 with a shot that went poorly the line," he said.
"There have been heaps of occurrences where World Cup history would have been extraordinary if innovation had been utilized. It's an ideal opportunity to change all that."
